New insights into the structural organization of the plant polymer lignin
(New York Acad Sciences, New York, 2005)
The organizational features of lignin structure and the mechanism of its synthesis have significant implications for the response of the plant to stress. It was unknown whether the enzymic formation of lignin in the cell ...
A comparative study of antioxidative activities of cell-wall polysaccharides
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
Oxidative burst in plants is elicited by biotic and abiotic stressors. Analogously to some monosaccharides which act as intracellular antioxidants, cell-wall polysaccharides may be in charge of buffering free-radical ...
UV-irradiation provokes generation of superoxide on cell wall polygalacturonic acid
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2013)
We examined the redox effects of UV irradiation on cell wall isolates from Pisum sativum leaves, and polygalacturonic and galacturonic acid, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. For this purpose, electron paramagnetic ...
